anyone know where any fairly simple tutorials for some are?

The tutorials on Lighthounds webpage are pretty straightforward. http://www.lighthound.com/Paracord-Lanyard-Weaving_ep_38-1.html

Member Stromdrane's blog is worth checking out, though I wouldn't call most of what he does "simple".

To gswitter and notregulated: I was going to recommend stormdrane, but didn't want to overwhelm him.

Though, the riverbar bracelet I found pretty easy to do.

any of you guys have any idea how to measure how much paracord you need for one of these?

Hmm. I'm wearing one right now. I believe I used 4 ft for each color. Total 8ft. My wrist is about 7 inches in circumference. Always give yourself more cord than you think you may need. You can cut it shorter but can't make it longer once cut.

so to be safe use 5 ft of each?

Probably, as long as you don't have an extremely large wrist. Let us know how it works out for you. :thumbsup:
